الوصف: INTRODUCTION Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignant tumors that require regimented treatment at designated cancer centers. The surgical care of groin tumors is difficult because of frequent local complications. Few studies have been done on prognostic factors and complications. This led us to conduct a retrospective study to 1) identify factors associated with local postoperative complications during the surgical care of primary groin STS, 2) identify the factors associated with delayed adjuvant radiation therapy, 3) define the optimal surgical treatment strategy to allow adjuvant treatments to start as early as possible, if applicable. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that certain patients presenting with an STS of the groin or inguinal area are at higher risk of complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective single-center study included all the patients admitted to our referral sarcoma center between 1995 and 2016 for the resection of a primary STS of the groin. Major complications were defined as surgical revision, an invasive procedure, or prolonged dressing use. RESULTS Of the 55 included patients, 13 suffered major complications (24%) of which 10 were surgical revisions, two were repeated aspirations and one was prolonged dressing use. Among the 10 surgical revisions, there were two pedicled salvage flaps. The patients who suffered major complications were significantly more likely to be smokers than the patients who did not have major complications (31% vs 2% (p = 0.002)). Obesity and surgical bone exposure were most often associated with complications but not significantly (23% vs 5%, p = 0.053 and 38% vs 14% (p = 0.057), respectively). Of the 39 patients (71%) who needed postoperative radiation therapy, 5 patients (13%) had it delayed, and 3 patients (8%) did not receive any at all due to major complications. CONCLUSION In our study, smoking was associated with the occurrence of major complications after groin STS resection and there was a strong trend for obesity and surgical bone exposure. Major complications were associated with a delay in starting postoperative radiation therapy. Thus, we recommend flap coverage after tumor resection in patients who have factors known to contribute to complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, Retrospective study.
